Strategy Implementation Survey 2023

Leaders in companies spend time, energy, and money implementing their strategies with varying degrees of success. This survey is designed to discover the challenges leaders face in implementing strategy, the success they have, what it takes to succeed, global trends in the field, and the lessons we can learn.

This 10 minute survey will allow us to understand leaders’ current thoughts and actions on strategy implementation. The data will be used for a paper by the co-founders of the Strategy Implementation Institute and as research for a new book.

In appreciation for completing this survey, we would like to send you a copy of the results. Simply include your email address in the last question.
